Next, type: $ make This will build the software for your system. Finally, type: $ make install This will install the software on your system. The software consists of crack.so, a low level shared object interface to LibCrack for checking password security stength, and password.rb, a higher level API for dealing with passwords. If, for any reason, you wish to install the software elsewhere, you can pass make(1) relevant arguments via environment variables: $ make DESTDIR=/tmp install You can generate RDoc documentation as follows: $ rdoc -x CVS rbcrack.c lib This will generate HTML and documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
